The campaign which closed last night has no parflel in the history of enthusiastic Astoria. The people of this city are fond of showing their sentiment like to get out and yell and "shake 'em up!" 'When Mr. Ful ton was elected to the United States senate Astoria went crasy positively "bughouse" and every other time It baa had a chance to display its en thusiasm It has made the display In the most hilarious manner. But this year there has been no speechmaking, no torchlight proces sionsso dear to the heart of the email boy, especially at crawfishing time no heated controversies, no reckless betting. Some folks call this sort of thing "apathy," but "what's the use?" would more nearly explain the situation. To be a democrat is, according to some very fine men, a great and glorious thing, but even the most ardent of the great unwashed readily agree that, while this distinc tion Is pleasing, activity wouldn't help matters any. They know Oregon has long since made up its political mind and that the most pronounced strenu oslty on their part would only be enough to elect They also expect Rhode Island and New Jersey. The republicans are willing to concede the democrats 159 the 151 of the solid south and Maryland's 8 reserving 317 for Roosevelt. Parker House. Joseph Harrington, city. Terrence Kerr, city. W.

Carelessness Is responsible for many a railway wreck and the same causes are making human wrecks of suffer ers from Throat and Lung troubles. But since the advent of Dr. King's New nf effort The remibllcans also Discovery for Consumption, . Coughs feel that campaign work wouldn't .and Colds, even the worst cases, can change the result, and have contented themselves with pity for the other fellows. . Of the 2750 votes which Clatsop will cast today Mr. Roosevelt will receive fully 1750. if estimates can be relied Upon. Judge Parker will get some thing like 750, which will leave 250 to be divided up between the socialist and prohibition candidates. Debs will probably poll 200 votes In this county where socialism seems to have grown somewhat If the populist candidate receives any votes, politicians will be surprised. Astoria will cast 1850 votes and will give Roosevelt fuly 50 plurality. This is somewhat remarkable, when figures are considered. In the last county election, held In June, every democratic candidate on the ticket with one exception, received a major ity In tbe city; yet nationally Astoria Inclines decidedly toward republican ism. Parker's vote will fall sliort be cause of .the unquestioned apathy of "citizen" 'democrats. Such men as John H. Smith, Police Judge Ander son, Councilman Lebeck and their followers do not. It is said, fancy the candidacy of the Jurist. When he was nominated they aked what difference be cured, and hopeless resignation la no longer necessary.

It's shameful when youth falls to show proper respect for old age, but Just the contrary in the case of Dr. King's New Life Pills.

( ' Tiding for the Improvement Of the road around Smith's- point was voted down. This measure perhaps had no parallel In city legislation. It provided for the Improvement of the road n ac knowledged necessity but s wpeclfled that the improvement should be sold tor with funds collected In licenses In precinct No. 1. All other street work Is paid for by assessment The ordi nance was plainly calculated to In duce voters of the precinct to oppose the local option petition there, for four saloons, paying $1600 yearly revenue, are Involved. Mr. Burns had Introduced the bill, and when It was brought up last night he asked that It be laid over. ! Mr. Burns had never favored the ordinance and his name was attached to it only because he is the head of the street committee.' Political Rottenness. Mr. Belland I want to vote on that bill tonight. I regard It as the rot- j tenest trash that was ever introduced In the council of this city. It is mere ly a bribe for voters to support the sn loon element In that part of the city It reminds me of the biblical story In which Is related the action of Satan In taking the Lord on top of a very high mountain, showing Him the mag niflcent world below and offering to give tt to Him If He would fall down and worship at the feet of the devil. The saloon element has taken the re respectable element to a high . moun tain, shown It the fine country below snd promised the land to it If Jt will but fall down and worship the saloons If the people of the west end want " loons, let them have them: If they want no saloons, then let their desire be respected. The ordinance Is an In suit to decency. Mr. Belland's denunciation of the political scheme was scatchlng. He pointed out that other parts of the city might demand this method of securing street Improvements, with the result that license money would all go for re pairs. He declared that the ordinance was merely calculated to get votes. He attacked its regularity, but City, At torney A.M.

Mr. Dellund, who seems to have the courage of his logical conclusions, took occasion to express himself sarcastic ally when the petition for three street lights on Eight street was read. The street committee hud no report to make on the petition, as It could not see Its way clear to add to the already large lighting bill. Messrs. Morton and Han sen wanted the people of the district to have lights, as they have no police or Ore protection. Mr. Burns sold the committee likewise wanted the people to have lights, but wanted the coun cil to shoulder the responsibility. "We need 50 additional lights," said Mr, Belland.' "Hut our expenses are becoming heavy and our crime hatch eries are not producing as much reve nue as was formerly the case, accord ing to the police reports. It seems thai people pay taxes here to liquidate the Interest on the Indebtedness, while the crime factories produce the revenue1 with which we pay for our lights. As, there are no crime hatcheries In thej district from which this petition comes, It follows, according to our business reasoning, that those people should not have any lights. Of course, I am In fa vor of granting the petition, but I warn you that our burden Is becoming heavy." The petition was finally referred back, with instructions to the commit tee to have two or three lights estub- Wholesale CIGARS, PIPES, TOBACCO. ETC. WILL MADISON A.10 'OMMFKCIAI, ST.
